Decoding the Disciplines

Decoding the Disciplines is a process for increasing student learning by narrowing the gap between expert and novice thinking. Beginning with the identification of bottlenecks to learning in particular disciplines, it seeks to make explicit the tacit knowledge of experts and to help students master the mental actions they need for success in particular courses.

This wiki is intended to foster student learning by

• sharing comprehensive information on students' difficulties (a.k.a. bottlenecks)

• bringing together people engaged in Decoding the Disciplines
• making accessible research data and media used in and for scholarly work on Decoding the Disciplines by adding citations of books, articles and papers to the Decoding bibliography

• providing information on how to practice Decoding the Disciplines

Learn how to contribute, engage, and share your work and to join the Decoding community.
